Martin Luther King stated, in the Riverside Church speech,“Beyond Vietnam”, April 4th, 1967, “Every nation must now developan overriding loyalty to mankind as a whole in order to preservethe best in their individual societies.”

Everyone is not going to agree with everyone else. The key is tofind common bonds between people and focus on them rather thanfocusing on the differences. This will not solve all problems, but itleads to solving problems. This is an attempt to “harmonize” andlive in harmony.The world has already seen the value of creating an entity topromote unity. The countries of the world formed the “United”Nations. The purpose of a “Global Strategy of Nonviolence” isto expound upon the virtues and assets of what has beendeveloped before.A World-Wide Unity Campaign is designed to empower people. Without the use of fear and oppression, the strength of “unity”will empower and initiate paradigm change. A main commonalityfound is the desire of all people, in every society and country, to raise their children to be healthy, happy, and safe. Therefore, it is imperative that the children are educated and socialized to actually see unity to learn from it. Therefore, the commitment is for the children to see world-wide unity!To implement such a large endeavor, there must be a catalyst to bring people together. Women, who have been the caretakers of family and society throughout the ages, are asked to lead the way, promote peace and to find unity.Women around the world are uniting for peace, not for individualpolitical gain, but to illustrate the importance of unity. Womenintend to lead the way and invite all men to join. Throughnonviolence, women intend to prove people are not enemies andworking together for common goals prevents war. How can people live together in peace and unity? How can women,as a whole, unite about anything, let alone peace? Just becausesomeone or some group says women unite, doesn’t mean that allwomen agree. There are many points of view about life. As anexample, in the U.S. there is a division between people aboutwomen’s issues such as abortion, homosexuality, drugs, andmarriage. Women are divided on these issues. The followinglink is an exhibit of women gathering together and calling forwomen to unite from their perspective of these issues. They usethe words, “Women Unite” and they are from a Right Wing initiative.http://www.womenunite.org/templates/System/default.asp?id=24468 The interesting part of this website is that the “first” reason thewomen describe as their motive is “For the sake of their childrenand grandchildren.” This is the same motive given for attemptingto find peace. This is the proof the children are the commonground, but there still is a difference of opinion of how to raise thechildren. That is fine. The major question is would any of thewomen desire violence or prefer violence? Probably not! WILLNONVIOLENCE BRIDGE THE GAP? Will women work together forNonviolence? Will nonviolence transcend borders of religion,ideology, nationality, and politics? YES!The beauty is that the women have the right to unite for any causethey choose. The answer lies within the main common goal ofillustrating nonviolence for the children. The children will learn theyhave differences and the way to solve differences is throughnonviolence. Differences are good. The theory is that there is strength in unity, therefore the initiativeis described as a “World-Wide Unity Campaign.” We want theChildren to see world-wide unity and nonviolence!See Commitment to UnitySee Alliance of CivilizationsSee Support for being united 9-24-06Patrick Healy, about a book written by Samuel Huntington, a political scientist from Harvard University, who wrote a book published in 1996, entitled, The Clash of Civilizations and the Remaking of World Order. Healy wrote in the article, “Huntington was a former president of the American Political Science Association and, during the Carter administration, coordinator of security planning at the National Security Council.” Huntington’s says in his book the United States needs to emphasize what civilizations have in common: the values and institutions, the art and philosophy and morality, which can peaceably cross borders. “If humans are ever to develop a universal civilization,” he writes, “it will emerge gradually through the exploration and expansion of these commonalities.”Calleman wrote “…fundamentally about healing, about creating balance both on a global and an individual scale. It is about unifying the East and West, intuition and logic, spirit and matter. It is also about unifying body and soul and healing the traumas that prevent us from paths consistent with the wavelike evolution of this Underworld. Thus we are presented with a choice as to whether we want to integrate or oppose the new energies.”In the Boston Globe, 12/26/05, the Pope called for a “new world order” that can rectify ethical and economic injustices. “A united humanity will be able to confront the many troubling problems of the present time,” the pope said, “from the menace of terrorism to the humiliating poverty in which millions of human beings live, from the proliferation of weapons to the pandemics and the environmental destruction which threatens the future of our planet.”Boston Globe article by John Hume, winner of the Nobel Peace Prize in 1998, entitiled, “The drive for a lasting peace” states,“We are living through the greatest revolution in history – the telcommunications, travel, and technological revolution. As a result, the world is much smaller and its leaders face major challenges. The most important one is to create a world in which there is no longer war of conflict. “Of course, that goal means that instead of sending armies to areas of conflict, we should send a philosophy of peace, accompanied by a large delegation of facilitators who would promote dialogue among conflicting factions.”1st principle “Respect difference, not fight about it.” (E Pluribus Unum) NO VICTORY FOR ANY COUNTRY2nd principle “Create institutions that respect that diversity.”3rd principle “work together for common interests – socio-economic development andliving standards of people” ADDRESS HEALING PROCESS
